JERSEY CITY -- The Pavonia Branch of the Jersey City Free Public Library, at 326 Eighth St., is closed until further notice, due to flooding and water damage. Electricity has been compromised, rendering computer usage inoperable.

The library's administration is currently investigating the source and extent of the damage.

"We are disheartened about the need to close one of our branches, knowing how much Pavonia patrons enjoy their local branch. Please know we are working on getting the branch opened as soon as possible," said Library
